Hi everyone. I'm the creator of the dbd perk tier website where people can give ratings to perks and killers. The site will generate a rating of each perk/killer based on those votes: https://dennisreep.nl/dbd/

​

Update: I decided to only make the ratings of the past 30 days count for the total rating. This will make sure that the ratings are more up to date with all the changes in perks and killers.The downside of this however is that some perk ratings are a bit off at the moment. Some perks are way higher than they should be because a single vote is now worth more than ever.

​

P.s. The old votes are still saved in the database, so I could do a rollback if necessary.

Edit: The main reason I made this post was because the ratings were messed up with or without this change. Everything was running really great in October, but it got messed up by weird voting in the last 1.5 months. You can check out the comparison here:https://dennisreep.nl/dbd/old/compare/

I expected that reddit users had a better understanding of the perks, so you guys could help get the ratings back to normal, but there are way too much votes from people that don't know how good the perks all. Any suggestions on how I could fix this problem are really welcome.

Little late to all of this but thought I would throw in some input. A month ago I had noticed the numbers seemed weird and an additional thing to think about would be that people from all platforms will he voting. I thought of it how strange that Huntress was so low list but then I started to realize that killers like Huntress and Nurse are abysmal to play on console. So that might be a fraction of what we are seeing is that the tier list is a mix of votes from different platforms. I guess if you wanted to have more control over the ratings you would just have to generate a master rating for yourself that counted as 20% of the votes or something. Although that wouldn't work too well long term but that would mean you would have to be paying attention all the time to adjust your rating at any given moment seen fit which would probably be a minimum of 2 adjustments per patch.

I think you should do a rollback, scores of killers like huntress, hag and clown are way too low. It was fine before the changes imo with a few misplacements but it is due to community votes. Perk tier list looks wonky too.

The october ratings are from the start of this website until the 11th of october (2018). They were normal at that moment, but something happened in the last 2 months. A lot of killers got about 600 votes in the last 2 months. The main reason I did this change was because it was really messed up if I counted all the votes. But it's just as bad if I only do the last month.

I guess the site gets too much traffic from random players that don't know what perks are good and which ones are not.

Hmm, can a person vote more than once? Maybe someone just voted for the killers/perks he like and downvoted the others.

Edit: Just checked. When i am using my wifi it is still the same votes i did months ago. But when i switch to 4.5g it resets the votes. I guess it counts as a different internet each time you turn on and off your mobile internet.

Yeah mobile users don't have a set ipadress and provider, so you could trick the system by refreshing your connection.
I could take a manual look into the votes and check if something like that happened by looking at the timestamps. My first question however would be why people would put so much effort into doing that.

The more logical conclusion would be that new people just rate killers high because they don't know how to play against them. The killer perk page is still pretty decent in ratings. It's mostly the killer and survivor perks page.

The latter seems more plausible. What i noticed is after Tyde released his tier list, spirit went up and hag went down considerably(he put hag way too low in his tier list). Maybe people got affected by it and reflected that to your website.

Yep, well your website was quite helpful when i first started to play and it was mostly accurate in all categories. Killer list started to go downhill after tyde's tier list with hag going so low and at one point doc surpassing huntress and clown being lower than doc too. Well, right now it isn't so bad with nurse>hillbilly>spirit>shape>huntress>hag>clown>.... it is mostly accurate but the latter 3's scores are too low. Survivor perk list isn't too wonky either, now that i checked. The problem is individual votes are way too valuable now and can drastically change the categories. You'll probably find a way out though, good luck mate i'll give you some feedback if you change the ratings.

Thanks for all the help. I agree on huntress, hag and clown. I personally think hag is at least top 5 and shape should be below all 3 of them.
I'll take a look at the killers somewhere in the near future and figure this out. I'll probably go back to all votes and not just the last month.

I think counting all the votes is still better than counting the last 2 months. Or you can revert to before october 11th, people will still vote changed killers like spirit back to A tier and wraith to B tier.

I'll probably look for weird data in the votes from certain killers like hag, huntress and wraith and revert that. The Trapper and others have the same rating for some reason, so it's not really necessary to change that. And I can't revert Legion obviously.

Thanks for your hard work. I used this as reference a lot when I first started playing. But I think as new patches come, the tier list becomes out-dated. I feel like you should do rating resets when major updates are rolled in to keep the list fresh, but add a disclaimer that it'll take a little while for the ratings to become "accurate" as the sample size increases over time.

​

I feel you should also indicate when the last rating reset was on each rating page so people know it's not out of date, or the information is still developing because of the latest patch, etc.

I'm glad you could use the website :)
Are you talking about a full reset for every killer? I think that might work, but can be quite difficult with the perks because there are 50 perks for both killer and survivor. I used to reset the ratings of perks that were reworked after each update and that worked pretty good.

​

I will add some more clarification on each of the pages. I used to do that on the landing page, but it's not clear and I even forgot to update that page for this update.

Are you talking about the word "metres"? I copied the info from the wiki page and they changed al the meters to metres since a few patches ago. It's really inconsistent on my website though. All the new and updated perks use metres while the old one use meters. Let's see if I can find an easy way to make it more consistent.
